Getting big money out of politics, banning congressional stock trading, banning partisan gerrymandering nationwide, and establishing term limits for all members of Congress and Supreme Court justices is a good start.
Reporter: James Talarico just unveiled his anti-corruption agenda. His plan includes getting big money out of politics, banning congressional stock trading, banning partisan gerrymandering nationwide, and establishing term limits for all members of Congress and Supreme Court justices.

“It’s hard to have any trust in the federal investigation given the White House’s immediate public effort to drive an outcome. Are the feds conducting any real investigation ... or justify what happened by tarring the victim as a domestic terrorist?”

Having the FBI investigate ICE murderers is a joke. The FBI and ICE are both tightly controlled by Trump and run by Trump sycophants. There is no independence and will be no objectivity.

There are more a dozen Waymos stopped at the intersection of 5th and Brannan in San Francisco blocking traffic through the intersection. Traffic signals are out because of a huge power outage. The Waymos evidently can't handle it. Why so many at one intersection?

Today's stupid AI advice:

Pattern to match = '
AI tells me to not use forward slash in the regex command because "the pattern contains forward slashes (/)."

Am I blind? Where are the forward slashes in the pattern to be matched?

Replacing income tax with revenue from tariffs is effectively replacing income taxes with sales taxes, shifting the tax burden from the rich to the poor and middle class. It's clear who Trump works for.

A new Blue Bottle just opened a few blocks from us. Now, within 1 mile, there are 2 Philz, 3 Starbucks, 2 Blue Bottles, 1 Peet's, and at least 7 locals. This doesn't count what's inside the ballpark, Chase center, or the 2 Whole Foods. I know I'm missing some. Nice living in San Francisco..

Trump is an incompetent weakling.

He controls the Executive branch and the majority in the Senate and House. He has a hand picked Supreme Court that rubber stamps his every move. But he can't keep the US government open for business. What a rump.

Day 38 of the Trump shutdown.

#Mariners squeak into the ALCS. 15 innings. Wow!

We don't see long extra-inning games like that anymore with the ghost runners used during the regular season. I'll bet none of the players in last night's game had ever played in a game that long.

I went to bed at the end of the 13th.

Pacific Fusion joins the Isotopes in Albuquerque. I'm sure they chose Albuquerque over Livermore and Alameda because the Albuquerque Isotopes are there. Wouldn't you want your nuclear fusion business to be in a town that celebrates isotopes?
